SPECTACLES.

$PECIFIC'ATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 375,964, dated January 3, 1888.

Application filed MarchlO, 1887. Serial No. 230.393. (Moth-l.)

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES FEARS TRYNER, of Denver, in the county of Arapahoe and State of Colorado, have invented new and useful Improvements in Spectacles, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The invention consists of the construction and arrangement of various parts and details and combinations of the same, as will be hereinafter fully described, and then pointed out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the figures.

Figure l is a plan view of my improvement, with parts in section; and Fig. 2 is a side ele vation of the same.

A represents a pair of spectacles, of which 13 is the glass-frame, D D are two short arms hinged to the ends of the frame B and provided with longitudinal apertures.

E are the temples,which are cut to a proper length to suit the wearer at the time of purchase, and driven into the apertures in the arms D, where they are immovably held by friction. The arms D thus forni the connection between the temples andthe glass-frame. The temples are much shorter than usual, and have their free ends provided with balls F, of any suitable material, the balls being ofgreater size than the usual balls, so that they engage the front rims of the ears near their lower ends. The free ends of the temples have very short bends.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The combination, with the glass-frame, of the hinged temples bent short at their free ends, and provided with large balls to engage the front rims of the ears of the wearer, substantially as set forth.

2. The combination, with the glass'frame and the longitudinally-apertured arms hinged thereto, of the short temples secured immovably at their inner ends by friction within said apertures, and having the large balls at their free bent ends to engage the front rims of the wearers ears, substantially as set forth.
